The Bernese Oberland and Reichenbach Falls

4.8(10 reviews)

A fantastic introduction to the delights of Swiss Alps hiking including stays in famous Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen & Zermatt. This tour in the Bernese Oberland is the ideal walking introduction to the Alps of Switzerland. You travel to the two most spectacular and classical postcard regions of the Swiss Alps. The peaks of the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau overlook the valley towns of Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen, while the celebrated mountain town of Zermatt lies just below the towering Matterhorn. Each day, you can choose from a range of walks including maps, route notes and GPX files. The routes often come with differing grades and distances, so you can decide the nature of the walking yourself. Whether it be a high mountain trek along a Bergweg mountain path, or a valley stroll on a Wanderweg lower level trail. The flower-strewn alpine meadows in summer around Wengen and Murren and upon the Schynige-Platte walk are an unforgettable experience. There are many opportunities for spending time sightseeing and utilising the extensive, Swiss mountain transport system to shorten walks. You'll stay in independent 2-3* hotels, with options to upgrade your accommodation. And if you prefer even more time to enjoy good fayre in the valley towns and mountain villages, please ask our team for advise on where to add extra nights. This carefully prepared programme of walks also allows you time to take the mountain railway to the Jungfraujoch. This is the highest railway station in Europe at nearly 12,000 feet.

For the most part the itinerary was good. I felt that at times too much time was allotted after the walking tours. I do realize that this was because they wanted to have the hotel room ready when we arrived.

Spent 464 Euros (about $540 US) to see the view from the Eagle's Nest and the view of the Matterhorn. We saw neither because of the weather and cloud cover. There should be a disclaimer in the excursion writeup explaining the chances of actually seeing the landmarks
